THE COMMISSIONERS considered an ordinance for first reading establishing the rate
of fares for taxicabs operating within the City of Salina, Kansas, amending Section 34-68
of The Salina Code and repealing the existing section.
Commissioner Ashton said he found several discrepancies in the financial material
that was turned over to the Commissioners for the first four months and that submitted for
the first five months. He recommended that a Certified Public Accountant make up a Profit
and Loss Statement, including all income, all expenses, and allow for depreciation. He
added any business is entitled to a fair profit, but with what we have been given at this
time we are unable to determine what type of business this is, and how much it is making
or how much it is losing. He said the cab company does not have the complete figures
to substantiate what they have down there.
Commissioner Ashton moved that a Certified Public Accountant make a Financial
Statement, through June, and pro rate the expenses on insurance, fees, licenses, and show
the gross income, and submit it to us, and that we table the ordinance until we get this
information, so we can make an accurate study of the business. The motion was seconded by
